Parliament . i The Legislative Assembly was much relieved, on Tuesday evening when the Speaker pnt the question that Railways Standing Committee Bill should be sent to the Legislative Council, and there were cheers when t ne motion was agreed, to. iw em Ders saw that the event marked an epoch. When the consideration of tlie measure was resumed early in the afternoon there was some doubt as to what would be . the result of Mr Lauren's proposal to limit its operation to June 30, 1892, because members were ab sent from both sides, and the appeal to the Ministerial ' Liberals ' to be staunch was likely to have some effect. In the debate which ensued, Mr Gillies pointed out that to fix a date for the death of the bill would be tantamount to depriving it of life now. If it were found at any time thiat the experiment was not successful, the bill ' could be repealed. To this Sir Bryan O'Loghlen replied that once the Legis lative Council obtained the power given in the bill, it would not .re...

THE STRIKE, The momentous struggle between the trade-unionists and the employers was referred to in both houses of par liament on Tuesday. The leader of the Opposition brought the subject be fore the chair by asking whether the Government saw its way yet towards pntting forth some etlort to bring the present calamitous struggle to an end. Every assistance would be offered in thaJb direction by the' Opposition- Mr Gillies, who spoke with unusual ear nestness and emphasis, said the Go vernment recognised the piesent state of affairs as probably the most criti cal and serious known in Australia, and that as soon as they saw an open ing they would hasten to approach other Governments to join in 6ome effort to bring the struggle to an end. The Government looked forward with something like very serious apprehen sion as to what the future might be if the temper of .the disputants were permitted to rise to a pitch when per haps it would be difficult to exercise control In the Council Mr Ser...

WANDERERS v. YACKAN DANDAH. (From Our Own Correspondent.) The return match between the Wanderers and Yackandandah clubs was played on the ground of the for mer on Saturday last. The rain which fell during the day made the ground very greasy,' and the ball difficult to mark. A. Priestly cap tained tne xacxpiayers ^wno piayea two men short), while J. Brown acted in a similar1 capacity' for the locals. The Yack skipper winning the toss, elected to kick towards the east goal, and Ike Brown sent the ball moving, and Bryden marked to Trezise, who from a place-kick at a difficult angle ; secured first goal foi the Wanderers. W. Moore kicked the ball off, when it was quickly carried in front of the Yack posts, where Thompson got a mark, with the result of a second goal being recorded for the red and black in less than five minutes. Moore again kicked of£ and in spite of the efforts of the Yack players the Wan derers had several shots for goals, but which, however, only resulted in behinds. ...

Chtndotoring. (From Our Own Correspondent.) We have had a truce lately with the book agents ; but no sooner is one played out than another jumps his place. We were paid a visit by one last week, and among other commo dities which he vended was a bottle of lotion which would cure all ail ments that affected mankind. Some person in our neighbourhood is poisoning dogs here, but it is to be ; hoped that before long we will be able to sheet it home to the culprit. Our Gun do wring Football Club are to meet the 'Yackandandah team on the ground of the' latter on Saturday, i (20th), to play a friendly match. In every match which they have hitherto played they have had to face a con tingent from other, clubs. We hope it will not be the case this time, as 50 per cent of our boys are in their minority.
